About our air source heat pumps in Woodside
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and finding a place for the outdoor unit.
Homes around Woodside normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

How the job changes from property to property
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey, especially if you have a combi boiler.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Not every home qualifies and we confirm it before anything is agreed.
What happens on the day
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Woodside.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

What else we do in Woodside
Common questions in Woodside
Will a heat pump in Woodside need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Woodside. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Woodside, typically Test Valley council) first.
Is the heat pump grant available in Woodside?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Woodside is in England, where it applies. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Woodside and across Hampshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do you cover Woodside?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Woodside.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Owner checks or an engineer?
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Common problems we fix in Woodside
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.
Look out for these signs:
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
